1. The Chimes of Big Ben - Part 1/2

A new prisoner, Nadia, arrives in The Village. She is strong-minded, independent, and refuses to become Number 8. Number 6 becomes convinced that she’s his ticket out of The Village...

The original seventeen episode TV series of The Prisoner created intrigue and controversy in equal measure when it first aired in the UK in 1967. In a taut psychological spy thriller the main character, dehumanised as ‘Number 6’, has committed no crime, save for having resigned from some unspecified branch of the British Secret Service. His prison is a heavily guarded coastal village.

Under constant surveillance, Number 6 can trust no-one and relentlessly works to establish who his captors are, a seemingly impossible task when the most senior figure he encounters – Number 2 – changes frequently.
